Don't give up hope yet................

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Frequent snow showers, strong winds with blizzard conditions and some disruption likely, especially in eastern areas on Thursday. Less snow showers on Friday, but some disruptive snow possibly on Saturday.

My point exactly but this isn’t showing on bbc graphics which I can’t get my head around.

Lovely big shower moving in to Omagh here. Feels odd seeing showers move in from the East rather than NW!

The short sea track in the North Easterly is killing us. Tomorrow winds turn more Easterly so increases our hopes. The new graphics are dire.

GFS goes with ICON, no precipitation makes it North at all on Friday from the system, in fact it barely gets to the Dublin area.

Bbc outlook NI updated 10 minutes ago

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday

Thursday will be mostly cloudy and bitterly cold with a strong easterly wind. Spells of snow are likely to spread from the south, often light but some heavier spells are possible at times. The snow may intensify again through Friday as it moves northwards. Drier overnight. Cold again on Saturday with a risk of another spell of snow pushing from the south later in the day.

 

To summarise anything fooking thing could happen

Some big showers incoming for Central Eastern areas

Noticed the showers pepped up for west and south of NI with east dry. Ironic given it’s an easterly wind. Doesn’t quite work for the east no matter what direction it comes from ??

Wind is NE. That’s the problem. Should be more easterly tomorrow which should help. But this so called beast from the east is horrific. And I won’t be chasing a SSW again with such verve in future years.

This SSW has been just so strong (record breathtakingly) its overcooked everything and has meant the high drifts away much quicker than initially thought.

Yep. Does this more times than nout during any touch of a SSW. Flatters to deceive. Or should I be more exact not the SSW but the beast from the east!  Stupid name ! :D
